It's sad that a lot of Vietnamese here are so pro-American considering that they bombed our imperial city and only a handful of buildings are left and the size of the imperial city is a small fraction of what it was.
Sad that Viet-Ams blame the Hue Massacres on the Vietcong when in reality the massacre was committed by Americans who then lied that it was the Vietcong that did it, and the South Vietnamese government helped them as well.

That's because they are brainwashed by white media. Seriously the fact that Vietnamese Americans are brainwashed about how the Americans are the good guys and the Vietcong were the bad guys(even though it was the Americans who caused more destruction and murders), they keep on sticking up for them.
That's more than enough to make me wanna puke.

what's wrong with admiring someone or a race? i admire the vietnamese for struggling to achieve independence for 1000 years. i admire them for maintaining the land they fought to keep for so long because they think of their future generations. i also admire white people for the many great things they've done. i admire black people also like MLK.

I personally believe admiring any race other than your own too much is not good. Yes I may sound like a hypocrite for having mostly white friends, but I still believe admiring a race is not good for the mind. What I mean by that is, you shouldn't admire a race too much where you feel insecure about your own, everyone has the right to be proud of their own heritage. It is still fine to admire other races but just make sure you give yourself some credit as well.

Yeah, that's why even the female reporters on BET (not to mention on shows, rap videos) are genetically more white than black..

That's why you said you don't date black girls.
That's why black girls straighten their hair or get weaves. That's why Afrocentrists try to claim every civilization except what they have in Africa.

Here's an example:
My friends were visiting Vietnam. There was a cocky white boy amongst their group, not in a racist "I'm white so nyah" sense, but, just cocky like any young-blood.
So, they were sitting in a cafe in Saigon and the idiot starts shooting a laser pointer at the waitresses t!t$ and @$$. The others told him to stop, but, by then he'd already raised the attention of the patrons in the joint.
Now, unbeknownst to them. The waitresses girlfriend was a Viet-American dude, who I'm sure, had all the experience he needed about haoles and their arrogant ways. So, as they were leaving, it was dark out, then suddenly a group of moped bikes turned on shining directly at them. Next thing you know, about 4 guys jump and pummel the living fu-k outta the haole boy. Not ONE of the Asian guys with him were touched...they only directed their anger at the perpetrating haole boy.
From what I'm told the Viets in Vietnam are bigger @$$-kissers (tourism dollars) than the Viet-Americans, cuz, we're savvy as to what they're up to.

Why do Vietnamese overseas look up to whites? To me white people are destructive and shouldn't be trusted.
What? Byron, I don't understand you. Why are you so against the American people? It's like all most all liberals are against America. What the hell?
You mean white people as in "American people?" or white people generally? I think you mean the American people. Well, I don't kiss their asses, nor will they kiss my @$$. But one thing for certain, they did help a lot of countries [yes, they do some destructions, too]. But I'd rather have America be the world superpower than any other countries on Earth right now [with the exception of Vietnam, but that's a long long shot].

You make it sound like it's 3000 years ago. Over half of the world's population was alive during that time so that's not that long ago. C'mon it's still having effects on Vietnam today. You expect everything to be handy dandy only a few measly years?
And as for white idolizers they are usually hardcore Vietnamese Christians who didn't get what they want when Vietnam fell.

Every Asian ethic group has those kind of ppl who worship the whites, but for most Vietnamese I don't think they admire white ppl as much as others like the Japanese .Vietnamese also have close-tight communities and are less likely to marry out of their ethic group compared to others as well.

Sigh. Firstly, I wouldn't say the nature of the two wars was the same. Secondly, what the Chinese choose to do is their choice. The right path for America and Vietnam is that of Germany and Israel, that of reconciliation and healing, but responsibilities should reside with the conscience of Americans alone. For the benefit of those who survived the war and generations effected by it, I don't know if you can forget but one certainly can forgive.

Entirely agreed with you, there could not be forgiveness without justice. All protagonists of the war should undergo investigation upon their responsabilities in war atrocities. Communists, Americans.... We vietnameses fell into civil war because of evil ideas and people from abroad. If Chinese and Russia didn't backed HO CHI MINH and Americans DID NOT unleash all their military power in Vietnam, we wouldn't be here moaning about the past.

I think you misunderstood me. It wasn't a demand for offical procedures. I don't want there to be investigations and tribunals. What I want to see is survivors sit down and talk, hear each other stories, maybe share each others pain, and decide - and I hope they decide to drink and get drunk over it. There should not be bearer of responsibilities except in the conscience of individuals alone.

I had the same experience, my friend invited me to his house. He told his parents that I was Cambodian, and I was getting bad vibes from his parents.
The funny thing about this is that my "friend" hangs around drug dealers and is in gangs. He is in his 20's and is a high school drop out with no future at all. I haven't talked to him after this incident, I don't think he had a clue of what was going on. I mean they accepted his drug dealing/gangsters friends but when it comes to a Cambodian, its a different story.
I don't think they realise that i attended the top uni in the country and what a good influence i was to him (told him to finish high school and stuff). But oh well, life goes on. I'm no longer his friends after so many years.....
